I said goodbye to Ashanti.
I thought I would die from the pain inside.
Today I witnessed an incredible act of love as I watched a young woman go before a judge and relinquish (again) on paper and verbally in front of a courtroom of people. She stayed strong and did it with love! She kept saying how she wants her baby to have more than she had growing up.
It was a very humbling experience!
I will never forget it.
I never would have thought that nine months after saying goodbye to a child I love so much that I would be given another child to keep and raise and love forever!
I am so amazed by the love and mercy of the Lord!
I am so thankful for this journey!
